The very nature of photography is slicing time. Photographs are based on exposure to light, be it film or sensor and usually lasting only a fraction of a second. But in that unique moment, magic is made, never to be repeated, for seasons change, expressions are different, and nothing is static. It’s just a click, but one of endless boundaries and imagination, pausing time, and never to be captured again.

Created on April 2, 2019 - Near Ibex Dunes, CaliforniaThere is a minor thread between the last post and this post. Both images are right at the edge of an abstract. I have spent countless hours scouring the globe for aerial subjects using Google Earth. Our planet is filled with an endless bounty of images both made by nature and by man. I like the flow of this scene where our eye moves from right to left, first upward and then downward. Within the image are many other compositions. There is a complexity to the photo, but viewed in its entirety can also seem simple.
